I don’t think you understand what the word objective means.

Perhaps the explanation in blonde’s post above yours might help you understand.

The situation with Darkfall is beyond comical at this point.

Here we are at about three weeks (please don't try to suggest they'll launch during Christmas week) before the supposed "open beta + release" and all they're willing to show is a "daily preview" done by the dev's close personal friends?

This is their idea of throwing their supporters a bone? Seriously? 

Oh, and the Darkfall fans better hope there's something wrong with the first screenshot because if that's how the graphics look in-game, all the non-fanboys are going to have a field day.

The review is pointless. Its like me asking my mum "am i ugly".

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who noticed the dreadful quality of the graphics in those screenshots, and if I'm not mistaken, she didn't even leave the supporters any wiggle room by claiming the screenshots are "untouched".

At least this person declared their association with Aventurine outright this time, instead of just pretending they were honest and unbiased.

this post has a very distinct odor of rotting troll.

Flaws....

1. Games won't release the week of Xmas.  Wrong.  It's been done by publishers befor.  Why would this title be different,  Just because its an MMO?  Kids are out of school.  Seems like a great time to lauch a game.

2. Have you honestly looked at the newest screenshots?  Looks better then WoW, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, and a dozen of other MMOs that are alive and kicking, and/ or under production.

3. All the NON-Fanboys are going to have a field day?  By this You mean TROLLS.   By Troll I mean people who honestly don't plan to play the game, and just want to torment,  make statements that are completely irrelevent, or false.(LIKE the Comment I quoted)  You think they haven't been saying the same crap all along?  Aside from the Vaporware crap,  Nothing has changed for trolls.  Different games get the same Troll responce.  "Graphics suck"  "It won't be finished" "Pay to Beta"  mobo jumbo.

To his defense, I don't think he meant that about the christmas release. On the rest I agree.

Hey, it's Polarization! Back from your latest ban? Shouldn't you change your sig soon, the game is already in beta. Oh wait no, that would take an ounce of imagination, and you got a sprain last time thinking that one up, gem that it is! Hoho, implying the game wouldn't make it to beta! Bet you feel pretty dumb now...

Anywho, that screenie looked pretty awesome to me. The first one was ass (of the Ork city), but the sunset one... well, it's not winning any awards, but it's fantastic for an MMO! Certainly looks better than WAR. It really shows the lighting engine off (lookie ma, it's capable of more than just dynamic lights!).

You're comparing an MMO launch to the release of non-MMO's? Really?

2. Have you honestly looked at the newest screenshots?  Looks better then WoW, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, and a dozen of other MMOs that are alive and kicking, and/ or under production.

If downtoearth can admit that the quality of those screenshots might be due to "LOW SETTINGS", I don't see how you can say with a straight face that those graphics look better than any of those games you named. Look at the spikes on the walls and the statue in first screenshot. Black edges? Are you kidding me? That seriously looked like some patch-job done by some amateur who just discovered the magic wand tool in photoshop.

Remember that this was only the introduction. The review havent been posted yet.

Cant think of when a introduction made so much fuss lately : ) Be patient.

I know I'm going to be called a troll for posting this, but this isn't really outside coverage.  Tasos hosts the Noob comic website and they have played other games together.  For a long time.  This is a friend of Tasos.  She's also not allowed to say anything about the game not approved by Tasos first.  So while it's more information on the game, it's not unbiased or complete.

I'm also not saying she's not in the beta.  But it seems to be more of a friends and family beta than a public beta.

(Other people known to be in beta are Darkfall forum moderators, two frequent posters/long time followers, and the two Italian guys)

I agree 100%. This "preview" is a joke. When are we getting some REAL and OBJECTIVE information about Darkfall? Anyone who is still saying they are going to release in 2008, is out of his mind.

Ok!

I ¨ll post it again.....this was the introduction to a review.....not the review itself.

Part 1 of the "review itself" has already been posted, so you might want to rephrase that a little bit.

NeroScuro I think you have me confused with somebody else, I’ve never been banned.

Game has been in beta for years according to the developers, this is the third time they have officially said beta is starting and second time I have signed up for beta, not to mention years of beta “soon”, this is nothing new.

Getting their friends to preview their game under NDA with only 1 month left to meet their official company commitment to launch and a few days before open beta is scheduled to end is just another pathetic whimper in my opinion.

Just because they let a few more of their friends and moderators into the testing this time is not exactly anything to get excited about, in fact it shows just how little progress they have made in over 8 years, they are still only in very early beta stage.

Nor is the fact that even with their friends and supporters previewing their feature complete and almost ready to launch game its painfully obvious how misleading they are still being about this games true state of development.
 

(shakes head)  Everything this company seems to do gives me a headache.Stupid me keeps reading about this game and getting more dopey "information". Where's my ignore button ?

This is exactly what the supporters said about the MMORPGItalia beta review as well, they said it was not the full review, but of course it was.

The truth is this is all they have to talk about, because this is all there is to do in the game.

They are getting wiped regularly and they only have goblins, some quests to kill goblins and rudimentary crafting and resource gathering in the starting areas to talk about.

There is currently nothing else in this feature complete and almost ready to release game 1 month from its launch deadline.

"first" time was another company called Razorwax. "Second" time was taking signups for clan beta ..this is the first time the took signups about starting  Beta and started Beta.

its THEIR beta according to the needs of developement not your or anyone elses opportunity to take a look in the game if he likes it or not. You in or not. Live with it.

Just because they let a few more of their friends and moderators into the testing this time is not exactly anything to get excited about, in fact it shows just how little progress they have made in over 8 years, they are still only in very early beta stage.

You don't know "who is in" do you ? Its under NDA with no numbers announced.

Nor is the fact that even with their friends and supporters previewing their feature complete and almost ready to launch game its painfully obvious how misleading they are still being about this games true state of development.

Don't think you able to give any informed opinion about the state of the game.

So  think loud  for a moment, a anonymous game hater on the intranet who has already  mislead people in the past (e.g about the gameplay video)

Or a company with 30 employees who works daily to release my favorite game.

Easy decision.
